Make your own way many before you have.. be your own man.Forget the bankroll there is plenty of opportunity in Vegas you have enough to open the door enjoy the ride and keep a record of it all your vids of the voyage will be a kick when you get to be my age and start looking back on your life rather than ahead.Keep your eyes on the prize it is important to tame your devils whatever they may be to be successful in Vegas or life for that matter. I'll keep an eye on your progress with interest some of us older guys on here have friends there if your path is true and you keep us in touch you never know what you many discover. Good luck young man.

CG, how much plus money do you think you have to be per year to cover all living expenses and what is going to be your base unit?
Going to be an experiement. Who thought i would be 71-48-3 +$11056 in NFL seperate betting this year. (Would be betting larger if was in Vegas for College and pro foot) 60%....
can't always use a calculator and add things up when making a decision. Your fine to your opinions... i have no problem with that.
i have 35K in bank... so 2% per play would be $700 a play. Figure expenses around 3K per month. (Rent, Student loan, food, cell phone, car, entertainment, clubs, whoress)
whole different ballgame for me out there tho with all day to cap and the ability to bet what i want.
U can't always use the calculator. Going to have to be selective and pick my spots and know when to push the pedal and when to not.
Look at my college football and NFL seperate play winnings.. over 4K college 57% winning percentage.. over 11K NFL 60% winning percentage...
if i was out in Vegas betting 5X per game would be up 75K this football season.. so it can be done.. first month will be some trial and error. 39 hour drive out will be having a lot of thoughts on my strategy for hoops and bases going through my head..

Good luck. I say this constructively and not to sound like an behind.
Your overconfidence, while important in life, scares me a little in this scenario. You have done very well in a relatively small sample size (not necessarily small for fun day-to-day betting) but small for making this your only job. Every comment that you have made is in the light of how great you have done and how you have the formula, you will be successful, you will only make more money there cause you can increase bet size etc...
But also remember that with the potential to make more with a larger bet size also comes the potential to lose more with a larger bet size.
I have not seen any comments from you regarding the realistic possibility that this will be more of a struggle than you anticipate. And what will happen if you are not making the 5 - 6 K a month that you expect? How about the month / months where you maybe only make 1K?
Not trying to be a downer but I hope you are considering this as well and are factoring this into your money management.
Kind of like a realtor. When you are hot you are hot. But when you are cold you get nothing coming in yet the monthly bills and expenses don't disappear.

I have in my head that this is not going to work for you. Only because I haven't heard you say one things about WHY you have gone XXX-XXX-X record over the past year - you only know that you did win at that record. Knowing why and how you won is important.
Anyway - disregard the above paragraph as totally unimportant - because you and your videos are solid gold.
Even though there are only 4 videos, they are so great on so many levels and I doubt you even understand why. Just keep making them - keep being yourself. And I am not judging or poking fun - I just think you have one of those personalities that people are going to like watching - even if it is a train wreck. I guess ESPECIALLY if it is a train wreck.
GL in Vegas. From someone who quit my boring job over a decade ago to do exactly what you are trying to do (but not moving to vegas part), I know it can be done, and I cant imagine my life back at that ridiculous job I used to have.

good luck dude. I have had a few times in my life where I was a professional gambler. But I lost my azz and I had to go back to work. Clear your head about all the BS and just have money management. If anyone has ever seen my threads/picks, I am an all in kind of guy. If you get hot that works short term, but not long term. Good luck dude. I am pulling for you.

we get this thread every few months, fair play for posting the vids, most don't post when the inevitable losing runs starts.
and of course, you're in a different scenario now, you're betting for your livelihood, not as a second income, thats a different mentality you'll have to face
a lot of people are rooting for you here because they don't have the opportunity to do what you're doing.
I'd love for you to be the exception to the rule, but vices will probably get the better of you, work is a four letter word but it keeps you grounded, discipline is the name of the game,

Those videos are pure gold. You need to make them daily after you post your bets showing your tickets so we can all follow. "College Gambler out!" haha classic.

whats ur problem? check my NFL season long as always u tool. 60% for the year. what u have to say bad about that?
I say even a blind pig can root up an acorn once in a while. If you want to do some head-to-head handicapping, I'll take your money now and you can stop worry about Vegas. Effing Jersey Shore blowhard.

I've watched someone your videos and you could definitely be on one of the tout shows. Your voice and enthusiasm for hawking the picks is dead on. You could be on AM 570 in Los Angeles at 8 AM on the weekends in a couple of years. Tell 'em you've been "tracking the casinos" and that your "information has this spread off by three touchdowns" and you're golden.
You've seen my concerns up above and I think it's going to be tough to pull this off. I've made no bones about that. But I wish you the best of luck.
